Waydroid Setup Guide - Bazzite Documentation

Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.

Solution

I installed waydroid fresh on my PC and can retrieve my google id. Reset waydroid then do the following:

Download VANILLA image

ujust setup-waydroid init

ujust setup-waydroid init

Start it once, then shutdown with

waydroid session stop

waydroid session stop

Install ONLY gapps:

ujust setup-waydroid configure

ujust setup-waydroid configure

. Choose Android 13 then gapps.

Restart Waydroid, wait 3 minutes for Google Play to auto update.
Retrieve ID
